Hikigaya doesn't want to be a force of strength

"Senior Nanyun?"

"Why did you mention this second-year senior?"

However, although Hikigaya knew that Horikita Manabu was concerned about Minamigumo Masa, Ichinose and Katsuragi were obviously not very clear about this matter.

Especially Ichinose, she had always admired Nanyun Masaru who led the second-year Class B to Class A. She thought that she was like an idol and didn't think there was anything wrong with Nanyun Masaru himself.

Seeing this, Hikigaya explained, "Because as long as things go well, Nanyun-senpai should be the next student council president."

"This……"

Ichinose and Katsuragi were surprised by the news, but they were not too confused. After all, Nanyun Masa was already the vice president of the student union, and it was very likely that she would become the next president.

But the two of them still don’t understand why Horikita Manabu is wary of Nanyun Masa?

And if they were on guard, why did they let Nan Yunya be the vice president?

"Hikigaya, you did a great job, even beyond my expectations." Horikita Manabu finally spoke. He seemed to admire Hikigaya's actions from the bottom of his heart, and showed a relieved expression. "Letting you join the student council may be the best decision I have made in my life."

"It's not that it's not that..."

Seeing Horikita Manabu's reaction, Hikigaya was more or less certain that he might have won the bet.

Horikita Manabu's concern for Nanyun Masa is not just simple attention, but has reached a level of extreme importance and even vigilance.

For this reason, even though he is a first-grade student, he is eager to use it, hoping to have one more chess piece of his own on the chessboard in the future.

"Your request is just to send things outside the school, right?"

Horikita Manabu's sudden words caught Ichinose and Katsuragi off guard.

Hikigaya responded immediately, nodding and saying, "Yes, this is the common demand of the three of us."

"Hikigaya, you should remember that I have promised you that I will help you send the things out." Horikita Manabu suddenly said, "If you choose to help them now, it will increase the risk of this matter. After all, the risks of sending one thing and sending three things are completely different."

"I had already made up my mind about this before I came here."

"That's good."

After Horikita Manabu finished talking with Hikigaya, his gaze shifted slightly and looked at Ichinose and Katsuragi.

"Ichinose, Katsuragi, I want to apologize to you first. During the student council selection, I rejected your request to join the student council for personal reasons, which affected you."

"President?"

Unexpectedly, Horikita learned to apologize on her own initiative, and both Ichinose and Katsuragi showed surprised expressions.

It was not until now that they learned that they had tried to join the student union but failed, and there was another hidden story behind this.

And this matter is very likely to involve struggles within the student union.

"I can't go into detail about the specifics, but like Hikigaya said, if you are willing to assist me and become Hikigaya's helper in the student council in the future, I can violate school rules and agree to your request to send things for you."

"Why do you want to be my helper?"

Hikigaya was somewhat unprepared for what Horikita Manabu said.

Horikita Manabu himself said calmly: "At this point, I still think you are the one who is most likely to change this school. Even if you can't become the student council president, you will leave your own legend in the student council."

“That’s not the case.”

Hikigaya didn't think that would happen at all.

How could a loner like him, who is so lonely and isolated, change this school? He is simply a supporting actor who will die in the first episode!

Chapter 419: After all, Hikigaya Hachiman is a die-hard sister complex

Horikita Manabu still did not explain in detail to Ichinose and Katsuragi about Nanyun Masaru and the struggles within the student council.

He may feel that there is no need for him to explain these things in person. In the future, when Nan Yunya officially serves as the next student council president, they will naturally know the conflicts brought about by the new president.

In order to be able to send letters to their sister, Ichinose and Katsuragi were willing to accept the conditions proposed by Horikita Manabu.

Or rather, they even felt that the conditions were a bit too simple.

After all, Horikita Manabu did not force them to do anything, nor did he even give them a clear direction. He just asked them to become Hikigaya's helpers in the future.

At this point, even if they themselves tried to slack off and do nothing, Horikita Manabu would not be able to conduct any tests after dropping out.

However, Horikita Manabu obviously believed in their character and knew that these two people would not go back on their word, so he offered such conditions.

After all, as early as the first grade, the other party had already conducted a survey of the entire first grade, so they had a deep understanding of the character and ability of every first grade student.

In the list he originally made, Ichinose Honami and Katsuragi Kōhei were the type who had good character but lacked ability.

That was why he rejected their request to join the student union.

"If you agree to the terms, go back and prepare the things you want to send out. I will ask someone to send them out before the next club meeting."

Horikita Manabu said something that was not simple at all in a calm tone.

After all, the school rules clearly prohibit students from having any contact with the outside world. The other party's behavior can be said to be a clear violation of the school rules.

Katsuragi Kohei and Ichinose couldn't help but feel a little confused that the student council president didn't care about breaking school rules.

However, Hikigaya understood from Horikita Manabu's words how the other party was going to send the letter.

In fact, when he learned that sending letters was a violation of school rules, he had already roughly guessed what the student council president would do.

First of all, there is a post office and express delivery station inside the school for external use, but those places are only for the use of teachers and staff within the school, and ordinary students have absolutely no chance to use these places.

If you want to send something privately, you only have two options.

The first one is still through the school channels, by bribing a teacher or staff member to help send the things you have prepared, but this approach is very risky, and no one can guarantee that the teacher or staff member on the other side will not betray themselves and report the news to the school.

In contrast, the second method, although troublesome, is obviously safer, which is to find a way to send things through off-campus express delivery facilities.

However, if you want to achieve the second method, what you must do is find a way to leave school.

It is almost impossible to leave the school through normal means. After all, the school is under all-round surveillance and supervision, and it is extremely difficult to climb over the wall and get out.

Generally speaking, no one has the opportunity to leave the school, let alone contact courier companies outside the school, but there is a very good opportunity right now, which is the upcoming club competition.

Since the clubs of Tokyo Metropolitan Kouyoui High School also have to participate in nationwide competitions and even national tournaments, they must go to the corresponding competition venues in order to participate in the competitions.

For this purpose, the school has specially approved students participating in club competitions to temporarily leave the school. However, the entire process is closely monitored by staff sent by the school, and there is almost no possibility of free movement.

However, as long as you are outside the school, it is not impossible to avoid the sight of the staff. Pretending to go to the toilet or pretending to be sick can easily achieve the effect of escaping the staff's supervision.

In that case, it would not be difficult to secretly contact the courier company and send out the items that had been prepared long ago.

After figuring out the methods that Horikita had learned, Hikigaya had a better understanding of the student council president's style of doing things.

The other party actually knew very well how to violate the school rules. Or, it could be said that, precisely because he was the person who knew the rules best in the school, once he wanted to violate the school rules, no one would catch him at all.

In a sense, this is also an opportunity that the school specifically leaves for students. It is a gray area where the school and students tacitly agree on each other and do not influence each other.

"Thank you, President."

Ichinose and Katsuragi nodded after hearing what Horikita Manabu said.

They didn't think there was any possibility that Horikita Manabu would deceive them. Not to mention that Horikita Manabu's own guarantee was credible, and secondly, as the student council president, there was no need for him to deceive them for such a small matter.

However, although the two believed in the credibility of the student council president, Horikita Manabu himself still calmly made a promise: "In order to ensure that the things you sent out are delivered to the designated person, I will have someone go to your sister to collect the reply letter later, but the reply letter can only be read in this student council office. After reading it, it will be destroyed and cannot be taken away. Can you accept this?"

"Really?"

Unexpectedly, Horikita Manabu actually allowed them to receive the reply letter. This was completely beyond the expectations of Ichinose and Katsuragi. They obviously had not thought about the opportunity to receive things from outside the school beforehand.

"If I could really receive a reply, I would be so grateful that I would never be able to repay you."

Katsuragi Kōhei spoke with an almost exaggerated reaction.

Hikigaya then recalled that Katsuragi and his sister had the same birthday, which meant that while he was celebrating his sister's birthday, he also hoped to receive a gift from her.

If he could receive a reply, Katsuragi would probably be so happy that it would be hard to express in words.

"You don't need to give me the favor, just give it to Hikigaya."

Horikita Manabu seemed to have already decided to let Hikigaya take on the responsibility of fighting against Nangumo Miyabi after he graduated, so all arrangements were prepared for Hikigaya in advance.

Faced with the president's arrangement, Hikigaya really couldn't laugh.

To be honest, he didn't want to take on such a heavy responsibility, and even less wanted to bear too much pressure, but the reality was that he had already boarded Horikita Manabu's pirate ship and had no chance of getting off.

After hearing what Horikita Manabu said, Ichinose and Katsuragi nodded without any hesitation.

"We will help Hikigaya-san."

"Ah."

Horikita Manabu adjusted his glasses, as if he saw a future that he was looking forward to, and calmly sat back in the student council president's seat.

After realizing that they had nothing to do here, Hikigaya and the others quickly said goodbye and left the student union office.

"Thank you so much, Hikigaya, for this time."

After leaving the student council, Katsuragi expressed his gratitude to Hikigaya once again.

To him, the help Hikigaya gave him was no less than getting him promoted to Class A.

This is such an important thing for a sister complex.

"No, no, that was a deal between you and the president."

Hikigaya spoke as if he didn't care and wiped the sweat from his forehead, trying to maintain a calm and composed image as long as possible.

But in fact, the confrontation with the student council president just now really put him under tremendous pressure, making him realize that the other party's ability to become the student council president of this school was not just luck.

In the eyes of others, it seemed that Hikigaya simply made a deal and a request to Horikita Manabu, but the fact that he was able to make a request to the student council president and have the other party accept it was a miracle in itself.

Ichinose and Katsuragi seemed to notice Hikigaya's fatigue, so they were considerate enough not to nag him any more at this time.

Ichinose smiled and said, "Then let's go prepare the gifts first, and then when everything is ready, we will go meet President Horikita."

"Ah."

"Then I'll leave first."

Katsuragi and Ichinose left one after another, and Hikigaya was able to return to his dormitory.

Back on his bed in the dormitory, Hikigaya picked up the miscellaneous books beside him and suddenly felt a strong sense of fatigue surge into his heart.

Perhaps his tense nerves suddenly broke, he subconsciously looked up at the ceiling, sighed heavily, and stood there in a daze.

What happened today was an extremely rare spur-of-the-moment event for him.

If he hadn't been moved by Katsuragi's will, he would never have gotten involved in such troublesome matters.

After all, this matter did not bring him any benefit, and he had no reason to help Kōhei Katsuragi.

However, people do not necessarily need a reason to do something, whether it is on a whim or with sufficient preparation, as long as what they do does not make them regret it, it is the right choice.

Moreover, neither Katsuragi nor Ichinose had a personality he disliked.

On the contrary, he actually quite liked the personalities of those two overly straightforward guys.

If Hikigaya were asked to find true friends in this school, he might really choose people like Ichinose and Katsuragi.

At least compared to those other weirdos, the two people who didn't hide themselves at all and showed their true selves were more acceptable to Hikigaya.

However, these things are just fantasies after all. As a lone ranger among lone rangers, he is destined to not make any friends and live a lonely life.

Come to think of it, in the letter I wrote to Komachi I seemed to have mentioned that I wanted to make ten friends?

What would Komachi think if she knew that I haven't made any friends yet?

Well, I must have taken it for granted and then criticized myself mercilessly...

But even so, Hikigaya still looks forward to a reply from his sister.

After all, he is a sister-con who deeply loves his sister.

Chapter 420: Is it possible that I have to do a love divination with Ayanokouji? !

After packing the letters and gifts prepared for Komachi and bringing them to the student council president, Hikigaya once again fell into a leisurely summer vacation life.

However, as time enters August, the atmosphere of summer vacation begins to fade.

When I think about the limited time I have left to enjoy myself, I feel depressed.
